gbone8106 25 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Luke, not sure if you got a chance to try this as its from the locked thread just before the last update went live. I have several files that are encoded with H264 (Stereo High@4.1 / High@L4.1). I Have included a sample of a file of this type in the link below. Also I have listed the Media Info. Any help is appreciated.

SamES 890 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) @@Luke, according to MediaInfo, This is actually mpeg4 in mkv container, not h264 codec. but it's being detected by the server as h264 It plays fine by DLNA.

Luke 37064 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Yea like you said in the other thread, we should probably just drop the codec bitrate limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 890 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Strange though, according to the log, this is trying to direct play (I've changed the bitrate limit) so I think it shouldn't matter that the codec detection on the server is wrong, but it still seems to crash the player.

SamES 890 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I wish I knew what the Samsung native player was made of, I'm sure it can't be avplay as seems to have better support (like vobsub overlays) and playing files like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSJ4Gokou 2 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 This happens to me a lot. I can direct play them via DLNA, but the app transcodes them when playing. I have also witnessed, rarely, that the file would transcode and after a while it'll switch over to Direct play. Wish I kept that log. I would love for this to be resolved in the possible next release or at the least figure out what the issue is. Maybe even be able to configure the profile for the app of some sort.

joutlaw 0 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) I'm having a similar problem in that Tizen is transcoding when direct play is supported.I am using a Samsung UN50KU6300. I have a simple custom Samsung Smart TV DLNA profile that I only changed the max streaming bit rate to 80Mbps. The file in question is HVEC 2160p has the following media info: I realize that DTS-HD is not going to play, but I was expecting the core DTS track to play.

FrostByte 5049 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Did you switch your tv to DTS? For some reason Tizen tvs don't auto switch from DD to DTS like the older Orsay sets so you have to change your tv settings before hitting play.

joutlaw 0 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Did you switch your tv to DTS? For some reason Tizen tvs don't auto switch from DD to DTS like the older Orsay sets so you have to change your tv settings before hitting play. I am using the optical out from the TV to my A/V receiver. I am not certain of the sound setting, but I get DTS from other sources. On this particular file, the video would play for 2-3 seconds and then buffer/spin for 10-15. It was unwatchable. My expectation is if only the audio was transcoding, the video would be direct playing from the original source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadel 7 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) In your user profile, it looks like this. Disable the middle two. I think the bottom one is needed for some subs. Edited February 8, 2017 by Jadel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 That's only necessary if you need immediate workaround. We will obviously improve this in the app for future updates. Thanks ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joutlaw 0 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Does it still transcode with subtitles turned off Stream #0:2(dut): Subtitle: subrip (default) Yes, I confirmed it still transcodes with subtitles off and selecting the non DTS-HD track.

joutlaw 0 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) I disabled transcoding for my user account and the file in question showed "Direct Streaming" when I attempted to play it. It seemed to start faster, but buffered pretty quickly. It was still unwatchable. Further analysis showed that it was transcoding the DTS-HD track to AAC. Even when I forced the DTS 5.1 and DD 5.1 tracks, it would still show it was transcoding the audio. The HVEC file had a total bit rate of 66Mbps. My Samsung TV is connected via ethernet cable to a gigabit switch. Not sure if the TV itself is gigabit, but according to the 2016 UHD TV specs, my model should support 80Mbps HVEC videos. For testing purposes, I installed Plex and noticed similar behavior. I didn't have to tweak the transcoding options in Plex, but it was direct streaming the video and transcoding the audio. It also would play, show buffering, then play a bit more and then show buffering. I'm wondering if 60+ Mbps are too much for my TV. I have another HVEC file with 2 channel audio that is around 30-40Mbps that plays just fine. Edited February 9, 2017 by joutlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yes I am guessing it is probably just too much. We are going to remove the bitrate limits so in the next update to the app you will see that same out of box behavior - direct stream video, convert audio (if needed). Thanks ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm thinking too. I have an Apollo Lake NUC coming today and will see if it fairs better with this content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why this apply from the start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
